OBJECTIVE: Mitral regurgitation is a valvular heart disease particularly affecting the aging population. Minimally invasive transcatheter procedures offer benefits over traditional open-chest surgery but require significant operator skill and hand-ey...
Mitral valve (MV) assessment is key to diagnosing valvular disease and to addressing its serious downstream complications. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become an essential diagnostic tool in MV disease, offering detailed views of the valve st...
Miniaturized accelerometers incorporated in pacing leads attached directly onto the heart provide a means for continuous monitoring of cardiac function. Several functional accelerometer indices first require detection of valve events. We previously d...
BACKGROUND: Post-operative moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with poor outcomes, yet the factors contributing to this complication are not well understood. This study ai...
